Buffy the Vampire Slayer: No Future for You

 

I spent a small fortune on eBay for used copies of season 8 of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", since they're out of print (and if I want seasons 9-12, I'm going to end up spending even more. Ugh). They finally came, and I got to read the second volume in the series, "No Future for You". It was pretty good. Giles contacts Faith about potentially going undercover to get close to a rogue slayer who wants to murder Buffy, so Faith can take her out before she kills her. Faith does it, reluctantly. She's tired of being the Slayer everyone goes to when they need something dirty done. 

Meanwhile, Buffy and Willow are trying to figure out the mysterious "Twilight" figure and go to visit a mystical being for answers. Along the way Willow admits she doesn't want Kennedy around Buffy and the rest of the gang because of what happened to Tara. She says that if she and Tara had just left Sunnydale with Dawn after Buffy died at the end of season 5, Tara would still be alive. Ouch. First of all, Will, Buffy didn't ask you to yank her out of Heaven and bring her back to life. Jeez. Kinda harsh. 

I did love how Buffy used the word "ponce", which she must have picked up from Spike. He hasn't made his appearance yet, but it's coming up soon.
